Joey Porter Jr. missed four Steelers games, sidelined by a recurring back problem that vanished after his move to Dallas.
An ankle sprain and a bout of illness left him available for just one of two possible games in Dallas.
He’s listed as questionable for Sunday’s showdown with Green Bay.
Porter’s displeasure over the Steelers’ contract offer was understandable, and for my money, the Cowboys’ decision not to renegotiate this season was the right move.
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones fielded a question on 105.3 The Fan about any concerns regarding Porter’s holdout.
“Absolutely, he’s all in,” Jones told the show Friday, citing Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. “He wants to be out there. He was sick in Week 5 against the Buccaneers and missed last week with the flu, but he played in our Week 4 win over the Texans and is fired up to help us beat the Packers.”
Porter expects a full‑time defensive role against the Packers. Will his presence be the spark Dallas needs to topple Green Bay?
